Video Summary

The panel discusses the population of patients suitable for the Harmony and Altera devices and whether doctors should gain experience with both. It is agreed that multiple technologies are needed to address the range of patients and situations, although it is uncertain which patients will be better served by each device until long-term follow-up data is available. The panel also discusses the potential for different types of valve technology to be developed in the future. They further explore topics such as the age and weight limits for valve candidates and the durability of the devices over time. Overall, the panel agrees that these devices have the potential to replace surgical valve replacements in the future.
